I think you needed to turn your magnet over and then they’ll stick not oppose.
I absolutely love you & everything you create!!!! Im in love with the style of your artwork!! This journal is gorgeous!!! I love using paper bags for my covers. Ive been making junk journals since a small child. Lol it was one of the only ways to have a journal back in the 80s & 90s if your parents didn't buy you one.....theyd give you old books, paper bags & paint ect. & we literally called them junk journals. Now I'm working on journals for my granddaughters, the same colors & also butterflies. I thought of putting handles on them & then came across this video!!! Perfect!! Thank you so much for all your videos!!!! Your an amazing artist!!!! 🙏🩷✌️
Aaaaw thanks so much! Amazing how long you have been crafting journals! 👍🏻❤️😃
SO inspirational! What a clever clever girl you are! I love it!😍
Thanks so much! ❤️
Barbara, when you glued your magnets on you glued them south to south or north to north. They have to be north to south to be magnetic!!!!!! Like poles will repel each other as you saw in your video!!!! It would have worked so beautifully if you would have just turned one of your magnets over!!!!!! Your journal is GORGEOUS!!!! I love the painting technique and the way you used a butterfly in the center of each signature!!!!!!
Yaaa same
Thanks Betty! ❤️
Love this journal, Barbara! Butterflies are one of my favorites to create with.
You mentioned fairies, then you used those pretty colors. Since I have a fairy journal on my list, I think I may just do it using a bag, and those beautiful colors!
Love all of your videos! And the fact that you don't edit out your trials and errors, makes you a real joy to watch!
Thanks for the FUN....and also, for always giving us so much inspiration!! 💟
Big Hugs 🦋 Suzy
Thank you Suzy! You are right, this style would make a fun fairy 🧚♀️ journal! Have fun with it! ☺️❤️
I love the colors on this tutorial. Just beautiful 😍
Absolutely beautiful!! You are crazy talented!!
Thanks Brenda! Not talented, just passionate ☺️❤️
@@49dragonflies You do seem to be passionate. But, I still think you are super talented!! The combinations you come up with and the imagination it takes to think up the things you come up with... that takes more than passion. It takes creative ability and talent. In my humble opinion!! 💖
I really really appreciate you sharing all the struggles with the closure and showing us that you never gave up or settled. You kept at it, getting even more creative, until you were happy. Love that about you 💜
Thank you Amy! ❤️
Beautiful journal
Nadia may have used a padded mailing envelope covered with material. They make a lovely padded cover. I love watching your projects everything you make is lovely ❣️
Fabulous idea👍
Thank you! Yes, you might be right! 😊
you had the magnet turned upside down. just need to turn it over
It’s beautiful,love the metallic paints.
My answer was yes to the small butterflies. They look great - good choice.
What a wonderful journal. So different from others I have seen you do but just beautiful. It makes me happy to look at it. I appreciate the way you take your viewers with you when you work through any problems. This is so helpful. Nothing is better than learning from the experience of doing. You have a way of taking us with you so that we can learn with you. Thank you Barbara for all that you do.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Love it
Hi Barbara! xoxo
Barbara, you needed to turn the magnet the other way round. They do work, they are really strong even through paper. Loved the journal!!
Love the cover. The colors are really pretty. You kept going until you got what made you happy. Thanks for sharing
Oh my gosh, I love, love, love this so much. Absolutely beautiful, lovely idea for stitching in the butterfly in the centre of the signature too. Hope you had a wonderful Easter x
Thanks Tina! Something a bit different 😃 Wishing I will see you tomorrow for your Premier! 😃❤️🥰
Oh my! This is gorgeous! I love the butterfly theme! 🦋 I have lots of paper bags. But no die cut machine....however, I have a friend who does.... TFS🤗
Opposites attract! The journal is beautiful 💙
If you flip the front magnet over it should work.
I love this! So pretty and inspiring!!!! TFS- Jenn
Beautiful colors, what a neat idea! Thank you for sharing. 😍
You are soooooo talented😍
Nono Im soooo passionate! 😃
This is so lovely
Yes The magnets are + and - so you have to get them the right way around
I also had the same problem at first
I do not seem to lean towards the junky type journals but this is truly something Id like to try
🇦🇺🌺❤️
Love this cover ... I am a huge fan of butterflies and dragonflies ... xxx xxx
So clever, love the handles
Looks lovely
your magnet was just on backwards i think this is a wonderful video dear
Quite lovely!! " It's not as sexy but oh well" lol, you are too funny. It looks just as nice as the magnet to me, but yes the final closure is perfect. The cover with that fluttering cluster of butterflies is so awesome; reminds me of a time I went to a butterfly enclosure exhibit and the fluttering swarms of butterflies and them attaching themselves to my clothes was such an exquisitely brillant experience. Pages of the flip thru are pretty also, the sound of the page flip thru is music to my ears. TFS
Thanks Roksanna! Sounds like an amazing butterfly experience you had! ❤️☺️
@@49dragonflies You're welcome, and by you creating that gorgeous journal, I remembered it .
gorgeous!
Beautiful journal 💜💜
Such a beautiful Journal, and it sounds so delicious.....gorgeous!❤️🙋🏻🐨🦘🌻💐🌹
Thank you! ❤️
Very lovely!
Very pretty!
Turned out great! I giggled right along with you when you were talking about it looked to shiny to come from a grocery bag.
I appreciate that you fumble with your stuff on camera like a real person would. Beautiful journal cover.
I love your cover!! The magnits you had it reverse in adding the glue. I also had that one time! Every magnet has a + an -side. And only + and - will click. If you rverse one and you have + and + it will not click! And also if wou want to use magnets for closer you can hide them between the papers before you saw them! I really love how you eventually fixed the problem!!
Thank you Clasina for your tips! Sometimes my mind draws a blank when I’m filming 🙄😂❤️
Your magnet was upside down. If you put the two magnets together and colour with a sharpie it will leave a make but they will only stick together in one direction - they then oppose each other 😊
Hi dear Barbara
Hope you are doing great!
You are spectacularly talented and amazing😊..you do everything so well..your videos are a treat!😄
Very beautiful. The dollar tree has stronger magnets which might work. You could even put it in between the layers in the cover!! I LOVE THE HANDLES!!
Thank you! ❤️
Love this❤️
Out of a grocery bag! Amazing! (Shame about the magnets but I think you just needed to turn it over.)
Thanks! Yes, I think you’re right! 😂🙄
Es ist soo wunderschön geworden 😍👍❤
I love the cover with the addition of the small colorful butterflies. Totally love the out come of this journal/handbag
WOW... I got shocked when I saw the vibrant metallic colours you used.... but, at the end the whole book became a miracle. You have such a good taste. Love it!! Thank you!
You need to flip the magnet over they have a wrong and a right side
Yes, a north pole and a south pole will attract. Two of the same poles will repel
When you use magnets you need to make sure they are the right way around as each one has a north and south side. Next time, attach one magnet to the tab you used as the closure, then place a post it over it and let the other magnet attach to the first. You can the add glue to the side of the magnet that shows and adhere to the bag. I hope this makes sense, as it a great way to close your journal.
The whole journal looks amazing and I love how the cover came out!
Thank you Samantha! Sometimes when filming, the brain stops functioning! 😂❤️
@@49dragonflies I can totally understand that.
Your paper bag / grocery bag / envelope journals are my favorite, because they are 'simple' (meaning not complicated, but not minimizing your amazing ability to transform them) and fun to make a gifts. I am currently a student and money is tight, but your with your tutorials I can make a lovely gift for my friends - thank you for sharing.
Thank you! So happy these videos are inspiring! ❤️
One of the most beautiful JJ I’ve seen...simply love it!!! Yes
Oh wow, thanks so much! ☺️❤️
Beautiful journal. The magnets didn't work because they are polar there is a north side and a south side. The northsides dont like other northsides and southsides don't like othe southside. However northsides are attracted to southsides and will stick together.
Thanks! I realized when I was editing the video! 😂
Absolutely love your journal!
Absolutely Gorgeous !! The loves are fantastic!!
Love Butterflies And the Turquise color you painted the jurnal Big Bravo..
Hi, dear Barbara! You always make very beautiful junk journals. It is wonderful! Like a princess bug. It' s very cute. I like your videos.🥰🥰🥰
Hi Barbara! Look at you using bold, bright colors on 2 journals in a Row!!! Very nice. Who doesn't like butterflies?! I'm glad you went that way instead of mermaids, but that could be just me. I think a little mermaid goes a long way.
I think you did a great job blending her style into yours. It steps up random angles is another big thing for you but still has your overall esthetic and sense of style. 🦋🦋🦋
Thank you for your kind feedback Laura! ❤️
Turned out beautifully. It looks like a fun evening clutch bag!!
The cover is really fantastic and the sound of the journal inside is wonderful ❣💯
Love it`.
Wow, diese Farben sind richtig außergewöhnlich! Voll schön!
I guess.... das war ein Moment like "die Kamera läuft, mein Gehirn schaltet sich ab", und ich will auch nicht klugscheißen, aber kann es sein, dass du den einen Magneten auf dem Cover nur falsch rum drauf geklebt hattest? Dann stößt er den anderen ab.... Äh ja.
Danke liebe Luise! Ja, das kann sein mit den Magneten! 😂😂😂
I truly love this journal! I do have to say that I was screaming at the screen about the magnets. Lol! All's well that ends well, as we say in the states.
Barbara: The journal is beautiful!! You could make a bunch of those embossed butterflies, like the one on the second to last page, and I bet they would sell out in a minute!! If they look that beautiful on video, I can just imagine how pretty they are in person. Thanks for sharing, and many blessings to you always! :)
Thank you Patty! Maybe I will once international shipping works better again! 😃
Yes, I thought you had one magnet the wrong way, but it looks great the way you ended up doing the closure. Love the butterflies too! Thankyou for sharing, take care and stay safe xx
Such a crunchy journal. I love it, beautiful!
Love, love, love!
I have done a paper bag journal leaving the handles... Looks so good!
I **love** how this cover came out!! Definitely going to give it a try.
Thanks Jessica and have fun with this! 😃❤️
I love whole process........ ending is beautiful....... keep safe...the best from Ursa, from Cape Town, RSA
Thank you and sending love to Cape Town! ❤️
i was nervous about this at first. but its lovely.
LOVING this! That color is super fun!
tyfs honey!
Absolutely gorgeous. I just love your work
Fab job, Barbara! Love it!
One word,- GORGEOUS!
Carol from California,USA
I love this idea ... Such a novel idea! I love that the handles wern't wasted.
This is a beautiful journal, and I love to hear you laugh! Creating should bring us joy in the process!
Love that color
This is so pretty! I love the shimmering metalic cover. The butterflies are gorgeous and the color one are perfect.
Thanks for sharing about losing video footage. It happened to me twice in March. 😩 Good to know even experienced video makers still make mistakes too and yet go on sharing and creating. ❤️ I love the handles almost as much as hearing you laugh with joy at them!
Thank you! Yes, of course I make mistakes all the time 😃
PS... The handles make it so unique and I love it! 💗
I really love this video.
Love your handbag shiny journal❤️
Great to watching the proces and so glad you also don’t know how to emboss 😂 I always make the same fault🤪
Greetings Maia
Hehe thanks Maia! Now I don’t feel so bad! ❤️☺️
Maybe her cover is an amazon paper package that has the packaging bubbles attached to the inside. The magnets do work with each other, you just had to turn it over. I love what you've done with this journal. Its gorgeous.
It’s lovely
This is awesome!
i can’t believe how gorgeous this is! the colors, the butterflies, the handles, all the things. fabulous!
Thanks so much! ❤️
It looks like a cute little evening bag. Love it!!!!
I would of never thought that a brown grocery bag could be so beautiful 🤩 . Thank you for sharing for sharing .
SUPER CUTE!! Love the color.
WOW, what a lovely journal. the paper bag looks unrecognizable. Absolutlely gorgesso!!!!! Love the squishy sound it makes when you handle it. Think I should give it a try, I do have similar bags here at home. Thank you Barbara for all you do for us, your inspiration and sharing of your amazing talents. Many Blessings and hugs from Cape Town. Diana
Thank you Diana! I really hope you try this. It really feels like leather once it’s painted. So fun! Enjoy! 😃❤️
That is one of a kind journal Barbara, just beautiful. I've been thinking of that bag-style journal for a long time, I must have transmitted my thoughts to you, heheheh. And I think I know why you didn't like the first butterflies you cut from the paper pad, it's because they didn't have any veins in them, they were too plain. Anyway, this rough-paper style journal is sooo cool. I'd love to see some more. Thank you.
Thank you Stella! Apparently ideas need to be realized so since you didn’t do it, it came to me! 😃❤️ And I have more coming up very soon! ☺️
Hi Barbara:
Your vision is so amazing! To watch the creative process in your projects is so much fun. Love the handles and cover. Of course, we all have glitches, but work through it. And you did a great job of that. Thank you for your tutorials. 💜😎
Thanks so much Joanne! ❤️
I am wondering if it didn’t dry brush the way you wanted because the gold was watercolor paint. I think watercolor paint does better on absorbent paper. Acrylic paint is not absorbent.
You might be right 🤔
I love listening to your thought process and your giggles when you are talking. You are my inspiration with my new hobby!
I love when you laugh at yourself!
Gorgeous! That's my favorite color and love butterflies. Always inspired by your style. I love that you give credit to other artists when you "marry " their style with yours. I'm always happy that you show your struggles and your success at the end. It turned out perfectly. And your cute laugh throughout the video is my favorite. 🥰
Aaaaw thank you so much for your kind words! ☺️❤️
Wow, Barbara, what a journey you just took us on! I'm absolutely gonna try this type of cover soon! Once again, you had me on the edge of my seat!
It is soooo pretty, I love the colours, I love butterflies and in love the sound of this journal. I'm think I need to create one!
Thank you! Have fun with this! 😃❤️
You are brave. Fearless. And the turn out is awesome!
Thank you! ❤️
It's so beautiful, Barbara! I adore how you recycled the bag handles! They make your journal look like a little purse, such a cute and fun idea! Love the colour too! I am one who enjoys colour so this is right up my alley! The butterflies are beautiful! This is such an impressive journal, well done!
Thanks so much! So happy you enjoyed this! ☺️❤️
Love how this turned out! Beautiful! For the future..every magnet has a positive and negative side..you were trying to put to negative or two positive together, that is why they wouldn't stay closed! Love your videos watch them all! Hugs!
Thanks so much Connie! I should have figured that out with the magnets! 😂🙄
Too funny I was just about to post that about the magnets but wanted to see if anyone else did. I was over here saying....turn the magnets around the other way!! Still came out awesome tho!
@@ImGinaMarie sometimes my brain goes blank when I’m filming and I see it then when I edit the video 😃
@@49dragonflies we all have that!! Its good to see others making mistakes too, that way we all feel human! Love your work!!
